Chapter 373 Knowledge Quiz about Exeggutor! So let me ask you, is Exeggutor always a Grass/Psychic type?
"Bro, I'm a streamer. It's unnecessary and pointless for you to compete with me in Pokémon knowledge. Just listen to the comments and don't take them to heart."
Ye Yinchuan still wanted to offer some advice.
But the person on the other end of the line persisted: "Host, I'm not targeting you personally, it's just that some of your fans are obsessed, and you don't know how to educate them. I can't stand it, do you understand?"
Perhaps the recent incident with the double-explosive gas gave him confidence, as the person on the other end of the line spoke with an extremely arrogant tone.
[It's been a long time since anyone challenged the streamer's account... but this person is probably just trying to ride the wave of popularity and create their own account, right?]
[Humorous! Who's really going crazy here? The streamer is giving him too much credit!]
[Now that the fever has subsided, what about the parents?]
Am I the only one who wants to watch the show? Let the streamer beat him up! I want to hear about the knowledge related to Exeggutor too!
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan was also somewhat annoyed by the person on the other end of the line. Just as some viewers commented, he had really given them too much face.
"I can't listen to this anymore... First of all, it's not my place to educate the fans. Without them, I wouldn't have a place as a streamer. The audience is to the streamer what readers are to the author. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them godfathers."
"Secondly, I don't know what you're thinking, but my relationship with my fans is none of your business, especially not in this tone..."
Third, I don't go looking for trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble either. Since you're so eager to test your skills against me, I won't let you have your way. Let's see who's the real deal... So, tell me, how do you want to compete?
Seeing Ye Yinchuan suddenly become assertive, the contact person's lips curled up slightly; he had achieved his goal.
His purpose in contacting Ye Yinchuan wasn't entirely pure. Besides personal enjoyment, he also hoped to gain attention and profit from collecting so many three-headed Pokémon...
To put it simply, it's about thinking of the starting point.
On the other hand, he was indeed confident that he had done a lot of research on three-headed Pokémon and that he could go toe-to-toe with this top streamer. Losing wouldn't be a loss, and winning would be a huge gain!
"Hehe... let's have a knowledge relay! We'll each say one thing about exeggutor trees, and whoever runs out of things to say loses. No repeats, no cheating. Do you dare accept my challenge?"
The person connecting with the streamer adjusted his hat and pointed at Ye Yinchuan. His clothing and movements were deliberately designed to leave a deep impression on the audience. Even if he could only attract a very small portion of the streamer's viewers, it would be enough for him to make a living!
【Great, very energetic! I love your rebellious spirit. I hope you can hold your own when you face off against the streamer!】
I also think Kirby's Revenge is being hyped up too much. It's probably just a product of financial backing. I sincerely hope someone can take it down!
When they saw someone coming to challenge them, some of the trolls in the live chat couldn't sit still anymore.
Some of them are genuinely malicious, or just trolls.
Ye Yinchuan could see through the other party's intentions, but he had encountered many situations during the live broadcast, and he always dealt with them as they came.
"I don't need you to prove yourself through my challenge, but I'd be happy to share some Pokémon knowledge in this way... However, I have one condition. If you lose, you'll have to requisition your three-headed Pokémon for free and display them in my Pokémon tourist area for a month."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line was taken aback. How would he possibly start a live stream then? Would he be able to do it all with just his mouth?
"No, that won't do... And why, why should I be punished for losing, while you are punished for losing?"
The person on the other end of the line instinctively denied it, and then realized what was happening.
At that moment, a comment appeared on the screen—
[It's definitely a punishment, buddy. Even if you lost, you still managed to create an account! Don't you have any idea how much traffic the streamer's tourist attraction has? If your Pokémon are on display there, can't you even ride the wave of popularity?]
Ye Yinchuan also raised an eyebrow, not expecting there to be a bug. He filled in the gap by saying:
"First of all, during this period, I will not allow you to try to ride on my coattails. To be frank, you probably want to use my account, right? I will not give you that opportunity. Otherwise, with your successful precedent, all sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry will come to me to try and cause trouble, and my live stream will become a mess."
Secondly, I'm happy to accept challenges or exchanges on Pokémon knowledge. If anyone wants to piggyback on my popularity, I don't object, but they should bring something of substance or value, not just cause trouble or make a fuss.
You're right, I can't just punish you. So, if you can beat me in the challenge... you can come to my amusement park and do a live stream anytime. And my two-headed Tyrannosaurus will evolve into a three-headed dragon sooner or later. I believe you'll be interested."
Having said all that, Ye Yinchuan laid everything out in the open and also established the rules for the future.
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the line changed his expression several times.
Although his connection with Ye Yinchuan had a slightly ulterior motive, his love for the three Pokémon was genuine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much energy and interest to study these Pokémon. Therefore, Ye Yinchuan's offer was very tempting to him.
"Host, you've made it so clear. If I continue to play dumb, then it would be my fault. I apologize for my recklessness just now... You're right, I did do it to get an account."
The person on the other end of the line suddenly became humble and sincere, as if this was his true nature.
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan nodded secretly. This was indeed a smart person, very good at seizing opportunities. Before, when he wanted to ride the wave of popularity, he had personally entered the fray, using the idea that "being famous even in a bad way is still fame." But now that his purpose had been exposed, he simply stopped pretending and directly apologized, emphasizing that "sincerity is the ultimate weapon"...
Although it was a bit of a mess at first, Ye Yinchuan is now a top streamer and is happy to broaden his horizons.
"Yes, I don't mind riding the wave of popularity. As long as someone is willing to discuss Pokémon-related topics, I welcome them all."
Ye Yinchuan stopped abruptly at this point, his meaning already quite clear.
"I understand, I understand, I was really wrong today. If my livestream is successful, I will donate one-tenth of my earnings to charity. Everyone is welcome to supervise me then!"
These two brothers are putting on a show here, can we talk about exeggutor trees instead?
[Okay, okay... the situation has reversed so quickly? But I still feel like this person on the other end of the line isn't sincere. Even if they donate 10%, they still make the lion's share. I feel like I've been taken advantage of...]
I think it's alright. The way he's handling it shows his skill; if he can consistently donate 10%, I respect him!
"Without further ado, let's begin."
Ye Yinchuan was also observing the comments and controlling the pace of the live stream.
"You go first, don't say I, the big streamer, am not letting you have your way."
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end nodded, a thoughtful look in their eyes. This kind of knowledge relay game is similar to an idiom relay game; after giving an answer once, you have to think about what to say next, and the more you anticipate, the better…
If the other person repeats the same points as you, you'll have to switch to something new, since the rules don't allow for repetition and there's no reason to repeat.
"Firstly, not all Exeggutor trees have three heads. Although three heads are very common, theoretically an Exeggutor tree can have any number of heads, from three to six."
After a moment's hesitation, the person on the other end of the line spoke with great confidence.
【Huh? I always thought the Exeggutor had three heads, this…】
[Isn't it said that a fourth head can only grow under special circumstances?]
Ye Yinchuan nodded. This was indeed a little-known fact. He believed that some Pokémon players or enthusiasts from before their transmigration might not even know this without checking the Pokédex or similar materials...
After all, in games and anime, Exeggutor is often depicted with three heads.
Hmm... at first glance they all look like three, but in reality there might be more. It's just that when we were kids watching TV, who would look that closely?
There is actually a clue to this, because the unevolved form of Exeggutor, the egg, is also arranged in groups of six, so it is not unreasonable for Exeggutor to theoretically have six heads.
"My turn... Although the Exeggutor trees look silly, each head actually has its own thoughts. Not only are their expressions different, but their personalities are also different, just like when they were still eggs."
This is why Exeggutor possesses strong psychic power, excels in special attacks, and can gather psychic energy to form telekinesis for combat.
Speaking of this, Ye Yinchuan also thought that Exeggutor's Special Attack stat is as high as 125 points, which is quite in line with the setting.
[Just mention one piece of knowledge, why is the host rambling on and on?]
[Don't understand? This is called confidence. The fewer points you can discuss, the more intense it becomes for both yourself and your opponent!]
The person on the other end of the line also felt the pressure. Some of the knowledge points he had just thought of were immediately used up by Ye Yinchuan, so he could only think of new ones on the spot...
If this continues, we'll soon be strapped for cash!
"Regarding Exeggutor, people didn't understand this Pokémon at first and mistook it for a monster tree with a human face, especially in the wild. When encountering a group of Exeggutor, it's easy to get lost following their movements. You might even hear people talking, but when you look up, you see human faces on the trees..."
What the person in the video said, while not strictly speaking knowledge about the Exeggutor tree itself, is still a kind of knowledge related to the Exeggutor tree.
[Haha, I wonder how traumatized the first person to encounter an Exeggutor is...]
Looking up and seeing several faces talking in the tree was truly terrifying, especially at night...
Watching the comments section, Ye Yinchuan recalled that in the Pokémon games, Exeggutor's initial appearance was actually quite sinister, giving off a monster-like or eerie vibe...
Therefore, this rumor is quite reasonable.
Just as people might mistake unfamiliar Pokémon for ghosts or eerie events, Exeggutor has certainly caused such misunderstandings before.
"Well, I'd like to add something. Because each head of the Exeggutor has a different thought, the heads will share their ideas with each other. When they argue, the sounds they make are very noisy."
Because it can have up to six heads, Exeggutor could theoretically be very good at sound-based moves, such as "Uproar," and would be very effective.
[Is the streamer trying to get away with something by adding other people's comments?]
It's alright, it's a point of knowledge.
Ye Yinchuan glanced at the comments. With his knowledge, there was no need for him to muddy the waters. He then continued:
"Exeggutor is a Grass/Psychic type. In addition to these two STAB types, it also has Normal type and may have the potential to have Poison, Ground, Rock, and other types... There is one type that you might not expect, and that is Fire type."
[No, Grass-type has the potential to be Fire-type, is that reasonable?]
[For this streamer, anything is possible. New fans are still amazed, but longtime fans are already used to it!]
[It's not hard to explain. A significant portion of Grass-type Pokémon prefer sunlight, and sunlight's energy is similar to Fire-type energy. Furthermore, Fire-type moves don't necessarily release flames directly.]
"That's right. Theoretically, the only Fire-type move that Exeggutor can master is 'Sunny Day,' which can force the surrounding weather to clear. Affected by the surrounding energy, Water-type energy will weaken, while Fire and Grass-type energy will strengthen. It's similar in principle to my Arknights' 'Rain Dance,' but with the opposite effect."
In the real world, the effects of a sunny day are even more meaningful for Grass-type Pokémon like Exeggutor, as they can directly enjoy the benefits.
[I get it! Pokémon are all rebellious. Rock-type Pokémon can summon rain, and Grass-type Pokémon can summon sunny weather. Makes sense!]
[It feels like the Creator's twisted sense of humor, if there is a Creator...]
That's precisely why Pokémon has endless possibilities!
The person connecting was also slightly shocked by Ye Yinchuan's extraordinary understanding of Pokémon. Even without verifying it, just listening to his theories made them want to believe him.
So much so that he almost forgot what he was going to say next. After hesitating for a while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:
Sometimes the top of the Exeggutor tree falls off and turns into eggs, similar to their seeds; this is how they reproduce...
Actually, he was a little guilty because he had gotten this knowledge point from Ye Yinchuan's live stream.
【Wait, didn't the streamer say this before? How can this count?】
[Why not include it? This is also a knowledge point...]
[Is it true that the streamer is the originator of all Pokémon knowledge?]
Although there was some controversy in the comments, Ye Yinchuan didn't care. After several rounds of the chain, the person connecting was clearly sweating profusely, to the point that even the most basic thing, like "the exeggutor has two toes," was brought up for discussion...
The ball, which had been passed around, returned to Ye Yinchuan's hands. He knew that his opponent was already struggling, and the viewers on the live stream were also well aware of this.
The skill gap is too obvious; it feels like the streamer hasn't even exerted their full strength yet!
[This is hilarious! They were so arrogant before, thank goodness they apologized in time, otherwise they'd be so embarrassed now!]
If the host hadn't delivered such insightful and valuable content, this quiz would have been pointless to continue!
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan also intended to end this competition completely:
"Let me tell you a little-known fact about Exeggutor that you and the audience probably don't know."
Before we go any further, let me ask you, and also the viewers in the live stream, a question: Is Exeggutor always a Grass/Psychic type?
